I had Airborne Tree Service install a root block under ground to prevent that problem.

We've used Airborne for trimming our rather large Oak tree for several years now - very happy with them. 352-347-3332

I had Maple tree do this to a side walk. I dough up the root and cut if off. Dough under part of the sidewalk to remove a small part of the root and filled in with dirt.

Trees should of not been planted that close to driveways or houses. It’s only going to get worse as other roots grow out. I brought house about 30 years ago that someone planted fir tree in middle of patio cement pad right off back door. I had to rent concrete saw ������ and cut two foot out of middle all way out and up to house. When I removed the root I also removed the tree and re-cemented.
